Manchester City won't release Tevez on loan

Transfer talks between Manchester City and AC Milan over Carlos Tevez appear to be heading for stalemate after City's manager Roberto Mancini ruled out a loan deal.

AC Milan are offering a free loan with the right to buy Tevez in June, but Mancini said a loan deal would set a bad precedent and the best solution for them is to sell.

Tevez was fined for refusing to come off the bench to play in a Champions League match against Bayern Munich three months ago, and he hasn't played a match for the English premier league leaders since the 21st of September.
